Datasets
The pilot phase of the project has been completed, with an amended dataset agreed by the 10 pilot LSCBs. This has now been incorporated into the online database, which is administered by the London Board. Pilots experienced a number of challenges in collecting such a wide range of information, particularly in relation to Health, where problems with receiving data and inconsistencies in definitions and quality of data led to delays in completing upload to the system. Police data is being received centrally by the Board on a quarterly basis.
The online system was rolled out to all London LSCBs on 31st January 2011, at which point they were provided with log on details to upload and benchmark data year on year and against other LSCBs. Hosting is commissioned externally until December 2011, and the London Board will evaluate the project and consider next steps in the autumn.
The Quick Reference guide (30 June 2010) provides information on the upload, details of logging issues and accessing support.

ENHANCEMENTS
The following enhancements are currently being implemented as a result of feedback from the initial pilot phase:
- Statistical Neighbours - Ability to set up multiple statistical neighbours.
- Create Report multi-select - The user is presented with a checkbox list of indicators, enabling quick selection and de-selection.
- Provisional Indicator - Identify on graphs where numbers are made up of provisional data.
- Input Order - Input ordered by NI rather than SG number.
- Report: Trend per Authority - Trended data report per Authority over the years.
- Indicator Definition: Ethnicity - Ethnicity should compare against the population. Add ethnic breakdown per Authority.
These enhancements will be ready to test on 16th July 2010 and issues logged via the tracker described above.
